JAKARTA - PSSI Technical Director Indra Sjafri said that his party will immediately complete all the requirements so that the U-19 national team can conduct a training camp (TC) in Salou, Spain.

"It's still a process. Due to the pandemic situation, we have to fulfill many requirements," Indra told Antara in Jakarta, Monday.

Therefore, the man who as the coach had brought Indonesia to win the AFF U-19 Cup and the U-22 AFF Cup did not want to give a detailed statement.

Indra can only ensure that PSSI continues to work so that the U-19 national team, which is currently undergoing TC in Jakarta, can get the best place to develop their abilities.

"We will announce everything when everything is in order," he said.

Meanwhile, one of the reasons for Spain to be a strong candidate for the TC location for the U-19 national team, Indra continued, is because the country does not oblige foreign migrants to self-quarantine amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"In accordance with the direction of the PSSI Chairman (Mochamad Iriawan-red), we are looking for a country without quarantine," said Indra.

The U-19 national team itself is currently undergoing TC in Jakarta to prepare for the U-19 Asian Cup and U-20 World Cup in 2021.

The plan is for the activities whose series of activities began on November 13, 2020, until they leave for overseas to continue TC.

Before TC in Jakarta, the U-19 national team had been doing TC in Croatia for about two months.

While in Croatia, coach Shin Tae-yong's children played 11 friendly matches against European and Asian teams with five wins, three draws and three defeats.
